Wanting to find a guide for something biting good in the next 2-3 weeks (if possible). Will be two guys, if I had a preference would be old hickory or priest as they're closest, but not too picky if there's much better fishing elsewhere. Never been with a guide. Any recommendations?
Fishing guide?

I've fished with Arnie via Brian Carper on Priest for crappie. Really good guy, great to fish with and chew the fat with.
I recently met Daniel with The Reel Deel guide service on Priest and he seemed like a stand up guy too. I haven't fished with him though.
If you are open to fishing on Normandy Pete Hatchett is a great choice.

If you want to travel to Chattanooga give @rsimms a call.
Best there is.

Brian Carper is probably the name I hear most on Priest. He has other guys that guide for him, but I don't know all of their names. (he guides both lakes, but I think Brian himself runs Priest more).
Ian Huey guides on Old Hickory and should be able to put you on fish there.

Ive fished with daniel a few times. My daughter loves his style of fishing. Ive also fished with mark travis a few times over the years and i really like him!! Joe floyd took us out on OH for crappie and he is a good one as well.
If i were looking for local bass i would look at brian or eric dickens that guides with brian.
what if you would prefer crappie, think that's double in December? How do you go about getting in contact with one of these guys?

I didn't know what a Bobo Thumper was so I looked it up. I've never heard of a thumping sound attracting fish. I'm not saying it doesn't work but just that I've never heard anyone mention something like that. Honestly if I saw that thing for sale somewhere I would think it would have been for crushing something or "working" metal into shape. I'll have to read up on the reasoning behind it.

Four boats sitting there.
We turned on the Thumper and a "splasher".
Within minutes we had hybrids and white bass under the boat.
We caught 72 fish in 2 hours while the other boats caught nothing (that we saw).
May have been the baits we were using, but we always had schools swimming under us.

My son and I fished on Priest yesterday. Pulled into an area know to be full of white bass.

If you are interested in a bass trip and willing to drive to Chattanooga, get with "Wishin' I was fishin" guide service. Chickamauga is fishing very well for bass right now

Man I have a throwback for you… I'll send you a PM
If you are interested in catching some stripers, get in touch with Mitch Tinney: https://www.facebook.com/seamonstersintennessee/
He has decades of guiding experience on Priest and other midTn waters.

but hey, you can always use the bobo thumper to make short fish legal, qualify for a tarp or tenderize a steak for shore lunch.
Which general area of the lake did you fish? I've never seen that bait around. I don't fish the lower end a whole lot though.
Merv has that 21 inch monitor for livescope which would be a blast to watch those hybrids under the boat.
Preist has some of the guides and locals that are fun to watch . It aint nothing for one guy to find fish and call some of his buddies and there be 10 boats hauling fish in within the next few minutes. Theres a network of guys that really seem to help each other out and stay on fish
Shad??
